BALTIMORE (Meredith) — Three 14-year-old boys and one 12-year-old boy have been charged with raping a 19-year-old woman at gunpoint in Baltimore, according to Baltimore police.
The three 14-year-olds are being charged as adults. The 12-year-old is being charged as a juvenile.
Police said the 19-year-old woman had gotten off a public transit bus Feb. 6 and was walking home when the four boys ambushed her, forced her into a backyard at gunpoint and raped her. Police said only one of the suspects had a gun.
Police told WMAR that neighbors heard a ruckus outside and came to the rescue, interrupting the assault. The four boys then ran off, police said.
